With Eve Garnier
This participatory workshop invites participants into the « hows » of Eve’s research-creation master NURT/FLOW, exploring family stories as a third-generation descendant through dance practices. Conceived as a laboratory, the space is filled with objects, and invitations to experiment, touch, sense, and play. Through movement explorations, DIY strategies, and silent exchanges, we will investigate memory, transmission, relationships, and the ethical challenges of engaging with stories and traces of those who are no longer there. Together, we will explore what it might be to ‘feel’ a story, to share it, and co-craft it through the moving body. Open to all bodies and abilities, each participant will be invited to engage according to their own abilities, curiosity, and desire. No dance experience is required.
If you would like to participate or learn more about the workshop, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. You can reach the facilitator at: egarnierchapel@gmail.com
The experiential, exploratory, and relational potential of dance is a deep source of inspiration in Eve Garnier‘s work. She is particularly interested in the power of the moving body as a carrier of stories and a mediator of lived experience. Based in Montreal / Tiohtià:ke / Mooniyang, she explores dance as a performer, teacher, researcher and artistic processes support. Of Franco-Polish heritage, she developed her career first in Denmark and later in Québec. Some influancial artistic collaborations are among others Marie Chouinard, Dominique Porte, Martin Bélanger, Marie-Claire Forté, David Dorfman (USA), Peter Mika (Slovenia/Spain), Tim Feldmann (Denmark), or Opera Royal of Denmark. She currently teaches technique, partnering, and interpretation at the Department of Dance at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), while pursuing a Master’s degree in the INDI program at Concordia University. Using a research-creation approach that combines dance and oral history, she explores how dance and movement practices can permeate, transform, and transmit family histories.
